Clean the dvd spindle with isopropyl alcohol and several cotton buds until the buds come away clean.

I've had no problems until yesterday when this began : Every time the unit is turned http://jacobshome.blogspot.com/2008/02/panasonic-dmr-es15-and-u61-error-code.html on I see "Hello" on the display screen, shortly followed by "U61". The operating instructions say "U61: There was a power failure or the AC plug was disconnected while the unit was on. panasonic dvd The unit is carrying out its recovery process. This process restores the unit to normal operation. The unit is not broken. Wait until the message disappears." But in my case, after a brief period of "sound blips" I get this message on the TV screen : "Self check failed. Press ENTER, then the unit will open the tray and power off automatically. If this message appears frequently, panasonic dvd recorder please refer to the Product Service section in the operating instructions." I've tried unplugging the recorder and after several minutes replugging - doesn't help. The Panasonic web site says that to get approved Panasonic service I would need to go 177 miles to Chicago (I live in Indianapolis). Has anyone owning this or similar model had this trouble? Is it fixable? One year and two months is a very short lifetime for a DVD recorder that has been only lightly used, and never abused. logon, Apr 12, 2008 #1 RLC3780 Member Joined: Apr 17, 2008 Messages: 3 Likes Received: 0 Trophy Points: 11 I'm just curious if you happen to figure out what was wrong with your DVD Recorder. I have the same message on mine and have had problems with TWO Panasonic DVD Recorders that I have purchased over the last year and a half. Please let me know: edited by ddp. Thanks!

now, for those formerly fortunate enough to be out of earshot, my thoughts can travel through the ether to display screens far and wide. Wednesday, February 20, 2008 Panasonic DMR-ES15 and a U61 error code. January 5, 2007, I bought a brand-new Panasonic DMR-ES15 DVD Recorder.Sometime a few months ago it experienced a problem reading a disc, and displayed U61 on the display. After fiddling with a few buttons and probably unplugging it and plugging it back in (I don't really remember what I did then), the device returned to normal and resumed working properly.I promptly moved on with my life and forgot about it.Yesterday afternoon, exactly 13 months and two weeks after the original purchase, the unit displayed the U61 error again, and nothing I could do would get the machine working again. After several attempts to reset it by pressing different buttons, holding various buttons down at power up, or by unplugging it and plugging it back in, I gave up and called Panasonic for help.I spent a good amount of time on the phone with the Panasonic Tech Support agent. I let him know the machine was exactly 1 month and 2 weeks out of warranty. I let him know I'd just purchased a nice new set of Panasonic phones a few weeks ago. Nevertheless, after he'd also concluded the machine was definitely broken and wouldn't work again without being repaired, he informed me that he thought it would be unlikely the factory would make an exception and repair it for free, but that I could include a copy of the receipt and a letter asking them to consider it.The flat-rate for a repair was $130. I paid $97 for the unit, new.So I pulled out my trusty multi-bit screwdriver (and searched Google) and went to work. Looking at Google, it appears to me that this is an extremely common problem with this model. There are many, many other pages detailing people that have this exact same error, with this exact same DVD Recorder. It appears to me that the unit has a design
